The mandate of the CCHRSC is to develop a confident, skilled and respected workforce, valued for its contribution to early childhood education and care.  Working for Change:  Canada’s Child Care Workforce, Profiles and Case Studies , includes two case studies, as well as a profile of a child care staff person, one in Toronto and one in Vancouver. The two municipalities have long histories of addressing child care issues, conducting needs assessments and supporting innovative approaches to service delivery and quality improvement. Their stories provide valuable information as to what can work to successfully address several key workforce issues.
